The liberals have been satisfied with little incremental changes over many years, and they’re kicking our butts doing it. Conservatives will keep losing as long as we keep demanding total perfection all at once.

This standard for the “perfect” conservative candidate, does not and has never existed. If FR had been around for the 1980 election, we’d be giving Reagan the Romney treatment, because he was a RINO. He was pro-abortion, a former democrat, a union president... Not to mention a mere Hollywood actor. Clearly a RINO.

Perfection my butt. We are perfectly willing to vote for someone with a shred of conservative spine. Name ONE conservative thing Romney has ever done worth voting for him over. One. Can you?

"Romney is a pathological compulsive liar. Lie after lie papered over with more lies. Doesn’t even flinch when caught in bald faced lies, simply tells another big whopper to cover up or dodge the issue.

He cannot lie his way out of his decades long record of support for abortion, Roe v Wade, planned parenthood, gay rights, gun control, global warming, amnesty, liberal judges, big government, compulsory or socialized health care (RomneyCommieCare), mandates, Keynesian economics, support and approval of TARP, bailouts, stimulus packages, i.e, every damn liberal progressive issue that comes down the pike."

Reagan was nothing like that.

no one is demanding perfection.

Romney is not even moderate but a leftist.

Careful there, Sparky.

Without context you risk insulting one of America’s finest ever presidents and a hero to a lot of good people here.
